Just for you Paul....Lol!
Hey hey!So it has been soooo long since I updated, I'm not really sure why haven't bothered 2 blog but I guess I'm doing it now. All in honor of Sir Paul Bowman as I think he is feeling neglected my lack of posting...isn't that true B?
So how r we?
Ready for Christmas....??I'm excited but not really enjoying the whole buying presents thing!! Christmas is so commercialised nowadays it's totally crazy. When I rule the world/make little changes, I will make sure that the meaning of Christmas is explained to everyone....somehow!Which is of course that little baby Jesus was born into the world in a stable, but remember the wisemen didn't show up straight away...it was probably like 2 years before they got there! But I guess they were following a star so they could only travel at night?!
Right now I'm on my work experience/placement/shadowing with Paul getting an insight as to what it is really like to be a Youth worker/leader/pastor (choose your own lablel). But I guess I never really realised that the real central role of being in youth ministry is being the leader. Making your decisions based on what God is telling you and being able to communicate that to everyone-boy I think that would be rather hard work! It's also about having vision and going with your vision! You also have to discover the art of being able to balance your work and your life. I guess thats the same with every job but I think it is slightly harder to seperate in this case, I haven't completely discovered why but it's just a thought. Another thing would be that you have to take time to carry out your daily devotionals. Ok, that applies not just to this job but to my Christian lifestyle, and I have been failing in this part of my walk with God for some time. So a big lesson I have learnt so far is take time to do things and prioritise. So I think that I have learnt so much in only 2 days, I've been having a fantastic time, and Rach D is SO jealous!!!!teehee! Tomorrow, I am heading down 2 Saintfield High 2 take SU...I think I'm prepared. It's all about how God/Jesus is a gift. I mean what a gift to the world? God's son arriving on earth to live amoungst his people! Just amazing!
Well I'm gonna shot the crow! I hope you enjoyed reading, if so why not leave a comment? hint hint! Lmso. Plus tips would be much appreciated on what on earth I should blog about!Lol! Ooo how I hate tiredness wouldn't it be awesome if like once a month your body was able 2 go without sleep 4 a couple of days? Imagine what you could achieve?! Aww well I'm not planning 2 find out what that feels like anytime soon!Lol.
Talk to you guys soon
I'm praying 4 ya...chin up and smile!
